• Assistant Librarian I - Youth Services
• Assistant Librarian II - Adult Services
Ms. Smith also noted that Mayor Allyn provided some minor edits which included changing the word “weed” to “cull.” In the section titled “Essential Job Functions”.
“Evaluate and weed cull the youth collection on an annual basis”
